Some Common Errors
1. Unable to enumerate USB device under virtualbox.¶
- Download the extension pack
- Open your file manager and double-click on the file that should be named something like Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.0.0.vbox-extpack. When you double-click that file, VirtualBox 7.0 will automatically open and install the extension pack for you.
- Add user to vboxusers group
- For your user to do a number of things with VirtualBox, it must be a member of the vboxusers group.
- Open a Terminal window and issue the command:
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $USER
- Log out of the desktop and log back in.
- Add specific USB device
- Open settings from the virtual box main screen.
- Settings > USB
- Select USB 3.0 from the menu.
- Add your device from the USB device filters

2. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted and SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not permitted¶
This error happens when we want to disable a device like wlan0
(changing the MAC address). Simply use the sudo
command to do that and it will work.
sudo ifconfig eth0 up/down
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up/down
